<p>There are some off hand items that are not weapons, but symbols, that crusaders can put in off hand appearance that do have a weapon appearance. I don't recall the names of any of them lol, but I know one of the Vig instances (I think it's Rescue) has one that has a katana-like appearance. There are others, but cannot think of where they are obtained or what they are called for the life of me.</p>

[Gisallo]

There is a mage symbol from Vig (x2 I think) that looks like a sword and a symbol off of the Seer in Labs that looks like a dagger.

<p>Yea there are items currently in game that could give the appearance of dual wielding.  It also kinda depends on what the OP is looking for, whether it's any item that can give the appearance of dual wielding, or if he wanted to actually be able to pick any 2 of his weapons and appear to be dual wielding them.</p>

[NViDiaFReaK]

<p>yea but i want to be able to truely duel weild for appereance.. Modinthalis x2 or Katana's x2 etc</p>

[Cusashorn]

<p>Yeah.. that's just not something that Crusaders can do unless you find a Symbol weapon that has a dagger appearance or something.</p>

[CoLD MeTaL]

<p>The Holy Warriors of Marr have been trained in the use of a single blade.  Dual blades are for ruffians and those of lesser social classes.  Why would I want to appear as a ruffian?</p><p>Perhaps those knights of lesser honor would prefer such a look, but True Knights shall wield Sword and Shield or the single Great Blade.</p><p>(imo Crusaders shouldn't ever look like dual wielders, and that is my poor attempt at putting in character. ) <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>really if it is "true" duel weild for crusader than it would be as someone mentioned. A fluff off hand that is flagged as "shield" or "secondary". There are also more appearances than just those symbols mentioned before. But yah on my illy i am able to "duel weild" katana's. One is the symbol and the other is a "dagger". Anyways there are still "options" out there for you, but not ever wep in game could be allowed to be in secondary slot for pally / sk.</p><p>To the person who tried to throw some RP into it. Well not all us paladins are of Marr.... I for one follow the wistom of the mother elf Tunare..... And you just said "crusader" i doubt any SK (which i believe the OP stated he was) would in no way follow Marr... and would be inclined to be a "ruffian".</p><p>*EDIT*The "blades" i am using on my illy are</p><p>"Runed Caitiff Blade" -- this is the dagger</p><p>"Symbol of Planar Calling" -- this is the symbol (obviously)</p>
